hey everyone just wanted to check in with our聽 quick video um been super busy this past week uh聽聽
[5]
in fact i've gotten behind some of the comments聽 again that was pretty good through thanksgiving聽聽
[9]
and um but i will definitely try to get back to聽 those but i wanted to make a quick video today um聽聽
[14]
probably a little less polished than most but聽 i just wanted to share some information with聽聽
[17]
you on rivian and their quiet period ending um聽 we've talked about quiet periods in the past聽聽
[23]
on the channel but i know a lot of you guys are聽 new to the channel because of rivian because we聽聽
[27]
have done some videos on it since the ipo聽 so i want to talk a little bit about how聽聽
[31]
a quiet period can affect rivian and how聽 that might affect your trading strategy聽聽
[36]
and we'll do that as we'll consider some of聽 the things that have happened since the ipo聽聽
[40]
so really quickly i want to show you a few things聽 on the screen that has impacted the price of聽聽
[45]
the stock and then we'll talk a little bit more聽 about the quiet period and how that might affect聽聽
[49]
your trading strategy and again then i'll聽 give you the rivian quiet period ending date聽聽
[53]
so hang on for that but first let's talk a聽 little bit about the stock and where it's gone聽聽
[59]
so as you can see here this is how the stock has聽 traded since it started trading on november 10th聽聽
[64]
as you remember prices 78 dollars opened up聽 in that low hundred dollar range and then聽聽
[71]
we went on for a few days where it just was like聽 the sky's the limit and so um so it was looking聽聽
[76]
pretty good for people that missed out you were聽 probably concerned that if you really wanted it聽聽
[80]
um other people were probably thrilled to聽 death that they got in early uh then we聽聽
[84]
started to see a pretty quick decline here and聽 there was a few things that um tend to really聽聽
[91]
impact the stock so there's like there's a couple聽 things we want to talk about today and just i want聽聽
[95]
to give you my thoughts on if they're a big deal聽 or not a big deal so the first thing was the news聽聽
[100]
with ford and as you can see on the screen that聽 the headline ford deriving we're breaking up聽聽
[106]
and so it's a couple things number one ford has聽 invested in rivian for quite a while up until the聽聽
[113]
end of october we thought that was a five percent聽 stake and one of the um viewers out there in the聽聽
[119]
comments noted that that was actually 12 and that聽 that is true that actually got updated at the end聽聽
[124]
of october but i didn't put that in a follow-up聽 video so i always appreciate when somebody points聽聽
[129]
something out and adds to the discussion so聽 really appreciate that so it's 12 percent stake聽聽
[134]
but at the end of the day like i never was worried聽 about them with rivian and actually building聽聽
[141]
vehicles for ford we had known earlier which聽 had mentioned in one of the videos was that they聽聽
[147]
had been working on a lincoln suv that got聽 discontinued like they basically started聽聽
[153]
working on it and then the plans just changed聽 and they dropped it when i looked at rivian聽聽
[159]
i did never put into my calculations and聽 you guys know i put out a more recent聽聽
[164]
revenue projections video didn't put in any聽 revenue that we expected from working with ford聽聽
[170]
so that was to me not a big issue and at this聽 point it's not that ford is bailing on rivian聽聽
[176]
in fact again they like i said they just聽 have 12 percent of the stake of the company聽聽
[181]
however they're not looking to sell any of the聽 shares at this point although nothing they really聽聽
[185]
could because they were in the lockup period but聽 they actually increased their investment recently聽聽
[190]
so as far as my opinion is this is not a huge聽 deal now you can you disagree with me definitely聽聽
[198]
put that in the comments but for me it's not a big聽 deal so the second big piece of news that came out聽聽
[204]
um again which which coincided with a lot of聽 the stock price dropping was that amazon backed聽聽
[210]
ev firm rivian delays deliveries of r1s suv's聽 report and so that came out see november 24th聽聽
[219]
um and to me this is the bigger deal because聽 we expected based on what was in the company's聽聽
[228]
ipo or s1 filing rivian said that聽 we could expect the first deliveries聽聽
[233]
to happen basically by the end of the year聽 and now what we're seeing is that rivian has聽聽
[238]
now started sending emails to the customers to聽 inform that the delivery window has been changed聽聽
[242]
to between may and july at the earliest聽 okay so to me this is a big deal because聽聽
[248]
for two things one in the grand scheme of things聽 it's probably not you you're pushing things back聽聽
[255]
but one of the biggest concerns i had with rivian聽 was it's a new company and they have to execute聽聽
[260]
and they're going to execute quickly聽 because there's a lot of competition coming聽聽
[264]
and you know they just can't afford to fall聽 behind so by 2030 this will be a blip however聽聽
[272]
you start to wonder can they execute as smooth as聽 they need to with all of this competition coming聽聽
[278]
and this has been one of my biggest concerns with聽 rivian i like the look of the products however聽聽
[286]
you're going to be competing with some products聽 are going to be a lot cheaper or a lot more cost聽聽
[291]
effective and so when people have more options聽 it's it's going to be potentially a problem uh聽聽
[297]
for the company so i'm more concerned about that聽 we did talk about the revenue projections and聽聽
[302]
which i basically said by the end of聽 2024 um you would expect for that year in聽聽
[309]
2024 2025 so this will put a blip into that but聽 where it's going to hurt is on those first few聽聽
[317]
earnings reports um and then we're going to be聽 really interested to see what the guidance is聽聽
[321]
so a couple things you really want to keep an聽 eye on there when it comes to um when it comes聽聽
[327]
to rivian all right so that leads us to the main聽 part of this video which is the quiet period so聽聽
[333]
and for time's sake i just went to investopedia聽 just to show you this we've actually talked about聽聽
[338]
quiet periods before on the channel so again聽 this is for really anybody new that's not聽聽
[342]
heard me talk about them but just to give you a聽 really quick idea is when a company is going to聽聽
[348]
do an ipo such as rivian did there's a period of聽 time where there's no information that comes out聽聽
[356]
so what i want to sort of just jump聽 up ahead here okay is the time frame聽聽
[363]
so in the green part it talks about the quiet聽 period begins when the registration statement聽聽
[367]
is made effective and lasts for 40 days after聽 the stock starts trading and is for analysts聽聽
[372]
employed by the offering managing underwriters聽 but then i put in here in the yellow for and 25聽聽
[378]
days for analysts employed by other underwriters聽 participating in the ipo so for all types of聽聽
[383]
purposes the quiet period is going to end 25 days聽 after the stock started trading and again for the聽聽
[389]
sake of the time for this video and again just the聽 time that i have i'm going to link a video for you聽聽
[394]
in the description that talks about a little bit聽 more about the quiet period it's to one of the i聽聽
[399]
actually applied it to another company um and just聽 talked about it there so definitely check that聽聽
[404]
video out but for all intents and purposes for the聽 quiet period is you're talking about underwriters聽聽
[410]
or analysts that's involved in the ipo so right聽 off the bat you feel like there's a positive聽聽
[416]
news that's going to come from the companies or聽 the analysts but what tends to happen is based聽聽
[424]
on where the stock is trading so if the stock is聽 trading way higher than the ipo price when the聽聽
[431]
analysts come out there's a good chance that they聽 could say you know the stock is priced pretty high聽聽
[438]
we don't recommend it being a buy聽 right now whether it's a hold or sell聽聽
[442]
whatever but typically the analyst reports are聽 pretty positive so we know that they're going to聽聽
[448]
be to predisposed to be positive because they're聽 going to participate in the company's ipo however聽聽
[454]
it really works best when you know that the price聽 is really close to the ipo price or even below it聽聽
[460]
if you see a quiet period and for a stock and the聽 stock is trading well below the ipo price or right聽聽
[467]
around it you can be pretty sure that the analysts聽 are going to come up with a buy have a price聽聽
[472]
target that's higher than where it is and it's聽 going to push the stock up at least in the short聽聽
[477]
term so just for the traders out there the short聽 term guys that like looking in get in and get out聽聽
[483]
it's something to keep an eye on but for rivian聽 you're talking about a few things going on here聽聽
[489]
the stock right now we saw was about 110 as close聽 to the end of the day thursday which brings us聽聽
[496]
to about what is that 20 30 30 some dollars聽 above the ipo price so it's it's above um and聽聽
[504]
we know there's a lot of issues going on with聽 this new variant that's out there so the stock聽聽
[510]
you know with the pandemic that's still being聽 an issue um and we also know that we have some聽聽
[516]
bad news that we're factoring in here and again聽 we're going to get at least delay of some revenue聽聽
[520]
by these suvs coming out later um so we're聽 going to have to really watch more of the news聽聽
[525]
you know again so how well is rivian going to聽 execute with getting their products to the market聽聽
[530]
and that answer is going to take a little while to聽 unfold but we're going to find this over time and聽聽
[535]
the question for you tell yourself as an investor聽 is do you feel like it's a safe time to jump in聽聽
[542]
and do you trust that the company can execute聽 when you see this news so quick after the ipo that聽聽
[547]
there's already a delay it has to cause some red聽 flags there so something to definitely keep in聽聽
[553]
mind so getting back to my main point about聽 where the stock is trading based on the ipo聽聽
[558]
price this is going to be a trickier one聽 it's not a cut and dry um had the stock聽聽
[562]
still at that 170 dollar i would say you're聽 not going to get a bump from it at this 110聽聽
[570]
dollar range you could i'm still skeptical if you聽 would now again if the stock was trading a lot聽聽
[576]
lower um or below the ipo price i would say good聽 time to sort of jump in at least get that initial聽聽
[582]
bump um you know again you can't never predict聽 anything but you just tend to see these trends so聽聽
[589]
just for something for you to keep in mind that's聽 why i want to get this video out so quickly聽聽
[593]
and even though um again it's a little a little聽 quick here but anyways so of course now that聽聽
[598]
we talked about this with the quiet period聽 the big question is when does it exactly end聽聽
[602]
so one more time we'll look at the screen and i聽 have a calendar up here and as you can see or if聽聽
[607]
we look into november this when the ipo happened聽 was november 10th so if we count our days 7 14聽聽
[615]
21 and then we get to december and we聽 get 22 23 24 25th days over the weekend聽聽
[623]
so you can pretty much expect on monday december聽 the 6th is when they're going to start seeing聽聽
[628]
analyst reports so i wanted to get this video聽 out so that you have friday so if you see this聽聽
[633]
tonight or during the day friday that if you want聽 to act on this you can uh again i'm not telling聽聽
[639]
you whether you should buy stock or sell stock or聽 i'm not telling you anything like that it's just聽聽
[644]
understanding that the quiet period is ending and聽 it is one of those times where you can consider聽聽
[649]
um you know looking at what the price is and聽 consider do you think the stock could get a聽聽
[653]
bounce from it or or not so anyways that's what聽 this video was really for just to give you a quick聽聽
[659]
idea on the quiet period some of the most recent聽 news and why the stock might be where it is and聽聽
[666]
you know hopefully gives you some idea of what you聽 want to do with it so with that being said i hope聽聽
[670]
